Among the most hard-hit are veterans, who are particularly
susceptible to both health and economic threats from the pandemic. These veterans
face homelessness, lack of health care, delays in receiving financial support
and even death.
I have spent the past four years studying veterans with
substance use and mental health disorders who are in the criminal justice
system. This work revealed gaps in health care and financial support for
veterans, even though they have the best publicly funded benefits in the
country.
